The SEC tied the all-time conference record by having 12 total selections at the end of the first round, then pushed its overall total to 21 picks at the end of Round 2 (an all-time NFL Draft record), and adds nine more to its overall list in Round 3.

After getting off to a slow start to the round, the league had a nice streak of picks exclusively from the SEC between No. 75-79.

Here are the players who were drafted:

  • No. 67 Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee (New Orleans Saints)
  • No. 75 Duke Riley, LB, LSU (Atlanta Falcons)
  • No. 76 Alex Anzalone, LB, Florida (New Orleans Saints)
  • No. 77 Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M (Carolina Panthers)
  • No. 78 Tim Williams, LB, Alabama (Baltimore Ravens)
  • No. 79 ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama (New York Jets)
  • No. 93 Montravius Adams, DT, Auburn (Green Bay Packers)
  • No. 94 Cam Sutton, DB, Tennessee (Pittsburgh Steelers)
  • No. 107 Kendell Beckwith, LB, LSU (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
